Groundhog Day

I have a bit of a repeat offender situation happening lately. The original was this outfit from this post:

Then I did same skirt and boots, but different black tee (this one from Plato's Closet, a consignment store):

The tee is semi-sheer. I love semi-sheer clothes, in general, but have such a hard time getting them incorporated into everyday wear. I just wore a black bra with this one. F it. The NECKLACE. The huge concho belt is new (to me). I wasn't sure about it at first. I do love conchos in general, but it was almost too big and it wasn't what I thought I wanted. But whenever I would add it to something, I would usually end up diggin' it. It happened again when I added it to this dress:

(Seen in this post w/o the belt.)
And last but not least, is the skirt with the eagle tee (thrifted) that I finally found and originally had in mind to wear with this skirt:

It is a little tee so I only feel comfy wearing it with very high waist skirts/pants. So you can see I've been a bit of a repeater with clothes. But, I kind of like wearing things toooo much :D

Now for a couple little pics that I like, both totally different. One is a picture of two dogs. It is a print by someone that is a bit known but I forgot his name and I don't feel like going to look this second. It has a little scruffy part scratched off and I don't care one bit. The weird part is that I like it all. It is so not me, the dogs and all (I always had cats!). But I like it the second I saw it and bought it for $5 off a little farmhouse antique dealer that my good friend brought me to. Funny story: It was priced higher, like $15 or something and I offered the guy $8 cash. He then said I could have it for $5. LOWER than my offer lolzzzz!

The other new pic that I literally just got is this one:

Hubby snagged it up checking out the new sweet booth at the shop. Can you see why I have a hard time getting out the store w/o buying something:

I know it's a crap pic, but clearly you can see this new booth has cool shiz. That is a green OWL lamp there folks woooooow! Or should I say, "whoooooooo".
I am seriously going to do a post just on the other vendor booths one day.
Like this jacket in Karen's booth ($38):

I already got my jacket, but if I didn't, this would be the #1 contender for now.
And this ashtray (another booth). I like the colors and design. But I really like the utilitarian aspect of the lid for one side. It just makes sense. <3 it.

One more cool thing!!! This one is from my friend's (the one I mentioned earlier) (Etsy) shop. I swear I have loved this cool vintage memories book she has had for sale since the second I saw it. I thought about buying it and keeping it for my girls, but that seemed like too long of a wait. What if they weren't into it? This book needs the right teen/pre-teen to appreciate it, damnit!

Or I might have to pretend I'm 16 again for the next three years and fill it all out for myself. Seriously, I might.

I'm all for repeating outfits, well, elements of outfits! That's such a rockin' senorita skirt, why wouldn't you wear it again and again?! I really love the T shirt you're wearing with it in the first pic. I've seen those belts before, but didn't know they were called "concho" belts! Now I do!I am adoring that fabulous orange container thingy behind the cute owl.And OMG, I would be SQUEEing all around that shop! There's a dozen things, straight up, that I would love.I have a similar ashtray(for guests, we don't smoke) to that awesome one, the lid is a splendid touch!XXX

I agree with wise Helga I do tend to repeat what works for me...boots and dresses less say:) This skirt is really sweet and I love it with your boots too! That shop looks like it had loads of treasure! xxoo

I'm 31 and I would LOVE that book!! I really love that skirt and the different ways you've dressed it, it's got a prarie/mexican/grunge feel to it, which really suits you and it's a look I adore at the moment. That shop looks great! I've love a look round and I really like that embroidered owl, excellent find!

The skirt is gorgeous, whatever t-shirt you put with it! There is absolutely nothing wrong with repeating outfits/looks, if they work, then go for it! Cute little owl, but despite not being a dog person, I also like your painting of the dogs too.Mmm, faux fur coat, love it...Get the book, get it! xxxxx
